The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
The swell is trying to push through, but that wind is just not playing ball. We've got a solid run of energy coming in, but it's all cross-shore or cross-onshore, leaving us with lumpy, choppy, and generally poor surf conditions across the entire forecast period. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're getting frustrated.
The standout spot is Alize (beach and reef). It's a consistent, beginner-friendly break that normally does well with NE swell, but we're getting everything from the east and southeast. That's a big miss. The combined swell energy starts weak, builds to moderate values (around 502 to 889 in the combined energy bracket) from the 25th of August through the 29th, with a peak on the 29th showing 8ft of swell. But that 8ft, coupled with fresh cross-shore winds, is just messy. The period is short, between 7 and 9 seconds, so there's no real punch or shape to the waves.
Honestly, there's not a single moment in this 16-day window where the conditions align for a clean, fun surf. The wind is relentless, switching from cross to cross-on, and the swell is always coming from the wrong angle. If you're on a kite, the constant cross-shore wind might be your thing, but for the rest of us, it's a hard pass. This is a blank run, plain and simple. The forecast can change, but right now, it's looking like a long stretch of poor surf.
Rusty.

Information about the Alize Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Alize provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alize can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alize surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Alize) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Alize may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
